Product Information
Full details
The Kent & Stowe Jute Twine (150m) is an essential, eco-friendly tool designed for gardeners and households who prioritize sustainable plant care. It provides a reliable way to support delicate seedlings, tie up climbing flowers, and secure vegetable plants without causing surface damage. While its 100% biodegradable composition makes it perfect for the compost pile, users should note that as a natural fiber, it will eventually degrade when exposed to prolonged outdoor moisture and harsh weather conditions.

FAQs
Is this twine safe for vegetable plants?
Yes, it is 100% biodegradable and free from harmful chemicals, making it perfectly safe for use with edible crops.
Can I leave the twine in the garden all winter?
It is not recommended. Because the twine is biodegradable, it will begin to break down if left exposed to wet, wintry conditions for several months.
Does the blue dye bleed onto plants?
The dye is formulated for standard garden use, but it is best to avoid soaking the twine in water for long periods before applying it to sensitive plant foliage.
Is this suitable for crafting projects?
Yes, its natural aesthetic and 3-ply thickness make it popular for rustic gift wrapping, macrame, and home decor projects.
How should I dispose of the twine?
You can add the twine directly to your garden compost pile or organic waste bin, as it will break down naturally.
Troubleshooting
Twine is snapping during use
Ensure the twine is not being used to support loads that exceed its weight-bearing capacity; for heavy vines, use a double or triple loop to distribute the weight.
Twine appears to be fraying quickly
This is normal for natural jute. If the fraying is excessive, ensure the twine is stored in a dry environment to avoid moisture-related degradation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the twine, simply pull the desired length from the center or outer spool and cut with garden shears. Avoid creating overly tight knots that could restrict the sap flow of fast-growing plants. To extend the longevity of the twine, store the spool in a cool, dry place inside a shed or garage when not in use. Keep away from direct ground contact when storing to prevent premature moisture absorption and fungal rot.
